Playing against Yorick

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Kill the Maiden as a priority: without her, Yorick loses enormous DPS and push power.

2

The wall (W) can be destroyed by auto-attacking it (2-3 autos) — don't stay trapped inside.

3

Don't let him split push freely: Yorick with Maiden takes towers very fast.

4

In 1v1, kite the ghouls: they're slow and die in 1-2 autos.
